SUZUKI Boulevard M90 (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, Suzuki launched the Boulevard M90, a motorcycle that combined a cruiser attitude with technology and value, which resulted in a bike with a distinctive muscular appearance loaded with modern technology and with styling cues borrowed from its bigger brother.

The 2013 Suzuki Boulevard M90 model rolled out from the manufacturing plant on a set of cast-aluminum wheels, fitted with dual fully floating 290 mm discs squeezed by two-piston calipers on the front and a 275 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear acting as braking power.

The bike featured drag-styled handlebars, a teardrop 18-liter fuel tank neatly merged into the well-padded, long seat, and a rear optional cowl instead of a passenger seat.

Fitted with a 1,462cc V-Twin liquid-cooled engine, the Boulevard M90 delivered class-leading torque-to-weight ratio and power-to-weight ratio. The pistons were fuelled by the Suzuki race-bred Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system coupled to an advanced engine management system that enhanced fuel economy and throttle response and met the latest emission standards at the time.

On the M90 model, the manufacturer fitted a cable-operated back-torque-limiting clutch with Suzuki's Clutch Assist System (SCAS) that offered efficient clutch operation with smooth downshifts, just like they used on the fastest motorcycle in the world, the Hayabusa.

The bike offered a typical classic style look with its low seating position, dual chromed exhaust system, chromed rocker covers, bullet-shaped chromed turn signal housings, and forward-mounted foot controls.
